I have some problems to setup and running this very promissing Programm on Puppy Linux!

I am not 100% sure but it looks like your Howto for running "maradns" is not 100% complete.

If i make everything like in your Howto reboot then Puppy Linux and start the "Top Procces Viewer" in Puppy Linux to prove if "maradns" is working on Puppy Linux as a running Process then i cant see it on the list of the running Programms.

When i open the terminal in Puppy Linux and type the command
"duende maradns" for starting "maradns" as a daemon a get the error message

The download link to the program already has that logging folder needed for MaraDNS to start. Did you extract the program to /

If it still doesent start, then create the folders to the logger /etc/maradns/logger

If MaraDNS Starts without error then it'll show on top viewer.

One way of testing DNS Caching is to open a terminal and type (Close all programs using the internet)

Code:

nslookup www.google.com

The first try there will be network activity, but on the second try, there will be none, these means that the program got its DNS request from the cache. Testing it on nslookup on the second try should be much faster than on the first.

Yes i have extracted the package to "/".
The interessting thing was that after the extract of the package i had a folder like
"/install/doinst.sh".
But after i have rebooted puppy linux the previous folder "/install/..." has disepeared.

I am booting Puppy Linux with the livecd and i dont know if some of the Files and folders
which i need to run "maradns" have been deleted after the reboot.

Do you run PuppyLinux also in LiveCD modus or do you work on a hard disk installed Puppy Linux?

The Top process Viewer dont show me any entrys for the programm "maradns"
The KP proccess Manager however show me one time "maradns" and two time "duende maradns" as a running proccess when i reboot puppy Linux after i have maked the Logging directory in "etc". So with a logging directory puppy linux start at least some maradns processes.
It looks like that at least the "logging" directory was deleted after the reboot.

nslookup works great but cashing dont will work.
after the first nslookup i have unpluged the Ethernet Cable from my Laptop and run once again the command "nslookup" to see if i get now the cashed DNS-querys.
Now "nslookup" hangs without to give any result.

Question is, if this program is even valid anymore, is it more advantageous to use this utility on a machine running only 64MB of ram? Or would any speed gained by the utility be outweighted by the memory usage on such a small system?
